Couple of things...I went into Liquors 44 back in the day and yes, they had a camera. There used to be a walk up ATM in the plaza next to the gas station.
I believe there was some mention that Maura preferred to drive, or Fred suggested to Maura to drive secondary roads as opposed to major highways.
There was some issue with radio transmissions between LE and State Police. The town meetings minutes were posted online and it seems like there was a need to correct this, and upgrade their communication operating systems.
This led to question how Monaghan was in the know about the accident, or did he happen upon the scene on his way back.
Scarinza told Maribeth Conway that he would check into getting her an interview with Monaghan but I don't think she ever heard back from him. I remember reading RO did an interview with Monaghan for some school essay or such, and asked some questions about Maura. He reportedly refused to answer questions about the timeline.

I don´t recall ever having seen this being mentioned anywhere.
Thanks! Maura Laurie Murray, according to online searches.

Two questions: 1. Is RO the real name of this witness, or just a pseudonym? 2. Does anyone here have a clue as to RO´s approximate age at the time of Maura´s disappearance? Thanks!

Maura sobbed 'my sister, my sister' to K. Mayotte as she accompanied Maura back to her dorm.

Thanks! 1. It´s a pseudonym. 2. I guess one of the local posters could answer your question. I too was under the impression she was quite a bit older than Maura.

She is likely dead but there is the possibility of her not being in the US. Canada is a hop, skip and a jump so three is that possibility. There have been several woman (and a few men) in particular who have disappeared for a considerable period of time to just reappear. Certainly illegals are able to do it, several million of them. Again, not likely but possible.
Bill and did she not have <distant> relatives in Canada? Nova Scotia? anyone know with certainty?

According to phone records as shown on ID Disappeared she talked to Billy for something like 7 min after having a rather lengthy conversation with her sister. It makes me believe the contents of those two conversations were somehow connected. I sure hope she didn´t find out her sister too had had an affair with him... At one of the early searches Kathleen reportedly called Maura a drama queen, or something to that effect. Would kind of make sense...

You pretty much summed her up there. IIRC she used to dream about nasty perps plotting to abduct Maura in the Swiftwater/Woodsville area. Quite dramatic and rather creepy.... I never realised that she claimed to be some kind of relative of Maura´s, though.

Wow Beagle, your blind denial astounds even me, and I have seen some things in my life.. I can tell you this for fact, for the time I worked this case those facts I related were very relevant to the investigators. Just not to you apparently. Go with what you think, it's all good with me, I'll leave you to it.
